RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No.11/852,604, filed on Sep. 10, 2007, which claims the benefit of U.S.Provisional Application No. 60/843,644, filed on Sep. 11, 2006 and U.S.Provisional Application No. 60/895,873, filed on Mar. 20, 2007, thecontents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, Erb-B1) belongs to a familyof proteins, involved in the proliferation of normal and malignant cells(Artega, C. L., J. Clin Oncol 19, 2001, 32-40). Overexpression ofEpidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is present in at least 70% ofhuman cancers (Seymour, L. K., Curr Drug Targets 2, 2001, 117-133) suchas, non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC), breast cancers, gliomas,squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and prostate cancer(Raymond et al., Drugs 60 Suppl 1, 2000, discussion 41-2; Salomon etal., Crit. Rev Oncol Hematol 19, 1995, 183-232; Voldborg et al., AnnOncol 8, 1997, 1197-1206). The EGFR-TK is therefore widely recognized asan attractive target for the design and development of compounds thatcan specifically bind and inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity and itssignal transduction pathway in cancer cells, and thus can serve aseither diagnostic or therapeutic agents. For example, the EGFR tyrosinekinase (EGFR-TK) reversible inhibitor, TARCEVA®, was recently approvedby the FDA for treatment of NSCLC and advanced pancreatic cancer. Otheranti-EGFR targeted molecules have also been approved such as IRESSA®.

Despite the early success of Tarceva, it has become clear thatselectively targeting individual kinases can lead to the development ofdrug resistant tumors. Cells that have developed mutations within thedrug/kinase binding pocket display a growth advantage in the presence ofdrug eventually leading to disease progression. Current clinicalstrategies aimed at combining these molecularly targeted drugs withstandard chemotherapeutics, radiation, or other targeted agents willlead to novel strategies to improve overall response rate and increasethe number of complete remissions.

Furthermore, elucidation of the complex and multifactorial nature ofvarious diseases that involve multiple pathogenic pathways and numerousmolecular components suggests that multi-targeted therapies may beadvantageous over mono-therapies. Recent combination therapies with twoor more agents for many such diseases in the areas of oncology,infectious disease, cardiovascular disease and other complex pathologiesdemonstrate that this combinatorial approach may provide advantages withrespect to overcoming drug resistance, reduced toxicity and, in somecircumstances, a synergistic therapeutic effect compared to theindividual components.

Certain cancers have been effectively treated with such a combinatorialapproach; however, treatment regimes using a cocktail of cytotoxic drugsoften are limited by dose limiting toxicities and drug-druginteractions. More recent advances with molecularly targeted drugs haveprovided new approaches to combination treatment for cancer, allowingmultiple targeted agents to be used simultaneously, or combining thesenew therapies with standard chemotherapeutics or radiation to improveoutcome without reaching dose limiting toxicities. However, the abilityto use such combinations currently is limited to drugs that showcompatible pharmacologic and pharmacodynamic properties. In addition,the regulatory requirements to demonstrate safety and efficacy ofcombination therapies can be more costly and lengthy than correspondingsingle agent trials. Once approved, combination strategies may also beassociated with increased costs to patients, as well as decreasedpatient compliance owing to the more intricate dosing paradigmsrequired.

In the field of protein and polypeptide-based therapeutics it has becomecommonplace to prepare conjugates or fusion proteins that contain mostor all of the amino acid sequences of two differentproteins/polypeptides and that retain the individual binding activitiesof the separate proteins/polypeptides. This approach is made possible byindependent folding of the component protein domains and the large sizeof the conjugates that permits the components to bind their cellulartargets in an essentially independent manner. Such an approach is not,however, generally feasible in the case of small molecule therapeutics,where even minor structural modifications can lead to major changes intarget binding and/or the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties ofthe resulting molecule.

The use of EGFR inhibitors in combination with histone deacetylases(HDAC) has been shown to produce synergistic effects. Histoneacetylation is a reversible modification, with deacetylation beingcatalyzed by a family of enzymes termed HDAC's. HDAC's are representedby X genes in humans and are divided into four distinct classes (J MolBiol, 2004, 338:1, 17-31). In mammalians class I HDAC's (HDAC1-3, andHDAC8) are related to yeast RPD3 HDAC, class 2 (HDAC4-7, HDAC9 andHDAC10) related to yeast HDA1, class 4 (HDAC11), and class 3 (a distinctclass encompassing the sirtuins which are related to yeast Sir2).

Csordas, Biochem. J., 1990, 286: 23-38 teaches that histones are subjectto post-translational acetylation of the, ε-amino groups of N-terminallysine residues, a reaction that is catalyzed by histone acetyltransferase (HAT1). Acetylation neutralizes the positive charge of thelysine side chain, and is thought to impact chromatin structure. Indeed,access of transcription factors to chromatin templates is enhanced byhistone hyperacetylation, and enrichment in underacetylated histone H4has been found in transcriptionally silent regions of the genome(Taunton et al., Science, 1996, 272:408-411). In the case of tumorsuppressor genes, transcriptional silencing due to histone modificationcan lead to oncogenic transformation and cancer.

Several classes of HDAC inhibitors currently are being evaluated byclinical investigators. The first FDA approved HDAC inhibitor isSuberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA, ZOLINZA®) for the treatment ofcutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Other HDAC inhibitors includehydroxamic acid derivatives; PXD101 and LAQ824, are currently in theclinical development. In the benzamide class of HDAC inhibitors, MS-275,MGCD0103 and CI-994 have reached clinical trials. Mourne et al.(Abstract #4725, AACR 2005), demonstrate that thiophenyl modification ofbenzamides significantly enhance HDAC inhibitory activity against HDAC1.

Recent advances suggest that EGFR-TK inhibitors in combination with HDACinhibitors may provide advantageous results in the treatment of cancer.For example, co-treatment with SAHA significantly increased EGFR2antibody trastuzumab-induced apoptosis of BT-474 and SKBR-3 cells andinduced synergistic cytotoxic effects against the breast cancer cells(Bali, Clin. Cancer Res., 2005, 11, 3392). HDAC inhibitors, such asSAHA, have demonstrated synergistic antiproliferative and apoptoticeffects when used in combination with gefitinib in head and neck cancercell lines, including lines that are resistant to gefitinib monotherapy(Bruzzese et al., Proc. AACR, 2004). Pretreating gefitinib resistantcell lines with the HDAC inhibitor, MS-275, led to a growth-inhibitoryand apoptotic effect of gefitinib similar to that seen ingefitinib-sensitive NSCLC cell lines including those harboring EGFRmutations (Witta S. E., et al., Cancer Res 66:2, 2006, 944-50). The HDACinhibitor PXD101 has been shown to act synergistically to inhibitproliferation with the EGFR1 inhibitor TARCEVA® (erlotinib)(WO2006082428A2).

Current therapeutic regimens of the types described above attempt toaddress the problem of drug resistance by the administration of multipleagents. However, the combined toxicity of multiple agents due tooff-target side effects as well as drug-drug interactions often limitsthe effectiveness of this approach. Moreover, it often is difficult tocombine compounds having differing pharmacokinetics into a single dosageform, and the consequent requirement of taking multiple medications atdifferent time intervals leads to problems with patient compliance thatcan undermine the efficacy of the drug combinations. In addition, thehealth care costs of combination therapies may be greater than the costof single molecule therapies. Furthermore, it may be more difficult toobtain regulatory approval of a combination therapy since the burden fordemonstrating activity/safety of a combination of two agents may begreater than for a single agent (Dancey J & Chen H, Nat. Rev. Drug Dis.,2006, 5:649). The development of novel agents that target multipletherapeutic targets selected not by virtue of cross reactivity, butthrough rational design will help improve patient outcome while avoidingthese limitations. Thus, enormous efforts are still directed to thedevelopment of selective anti-cancer drugs as well as to new and moreefficacious combinations of known anti-cancer drugs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to quinazolines containing zinc-bindingmoiety based derivatives that have enhanced and unexpected properties asinhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase(EGFR-TK). The compounds of the present invention also act as HDAC ormatrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors and HER2 inhibitors.Surprisingly, these compounds are active at multiple therapeutic targetsand are effective for treating diseases related to EGFR-TK activity,HDAC activity and/or HER2 activity, such as cancer and proliferativediseases. Moreover, it has even more surprisingly been found that thecompounds have enhanced activity when compared to the activities ofseparate molecules individually having the EGFR-TK and HDAC activitiesand combinations thereof. In other words, the combination ofpharmacophores into a single molecule may provide a synergistic effectas compared to the individual pharmacophores. More specifically, it hasbeen found that it is possible to prepare compounds that simultaneouslycontain a first portion of the molecule that binds zinc ions and thuspermits inhibition of HDAC and/or matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)activity and at least a second portion of the molecule that permitsbinding to a separate and distinct target that inhibits EGFR-TK and thusprovide therapeutic benefit. Preferably, the compounds of the presentinvention inhibit EGFR-TK, HER2 and HDAC activity.

Such combinations may enhance therapeuticefficacy over efficacy achieved by any of the agents alone and mayprevent or delay the appearance of resistant mutational variants.

In certain preferred embodiments, the compounds of the invention areadministered in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent.Chemotherapeutic agents encompass a wide range of therapeutic treatmentsin the field of oncology. These agents are administered at variousstages of the disease for the purposes of shrinking tumors, destroyingremaining cancer cells left over after surgery, inducing remission,maintaining remission and/or alleviating symptoms relating to the canceror its treatment. Examples of such agents include, but are not limitedto, alkylating agents such as mustard gas derivatives (Mechlorethamine,cylophosphamide, chlorambucil, melphalan, ifosfamide), ethylenimines(thiotepa, hexamethylmelanine), Alkylsulfonates (Busulfan), Hydrazinesand Triazines (Altretamine, Procarbazine, Dacarbazine and Temozolomide),Nitrosoureas (Carmustine, Lomustine and Streptozocin), Ifosfamide andmetal salts (Carboplatin, Cisplatin, and Oxaliplatin); plant alkaloidssuch as Podophyllotoxins (Etoposide and Tenisopide), Taxanes (Paclitaxeland Docetaxel), Vinca alkaloids (Vincristine, Vinblastine, Vindesine andVinorelbine), and Camptothecan analogs (Irinotecan and Topotecan);anti-tumor antibiotics such as Chromomycins (Dactinomycin andPlicamycin), Anthracyclines (Doxorubicin, Daunorubicin, Epirubicin,Mitoxantrone, Valrubicin and Idarubicin), and miscellaneous antibioticssuch as Mitomycin, Actinomycin and Bleomycin; anti-metabolites such asfolic acid antagonists (Methotrexate, Pemetrexed, Raltitrexed,Aminopterin), pyrimidine antagonists (5-Fluorouracil, Floxuridine,Cytarabine, Capecitabine, and Gemcitabine), purine antagonists(6-Mercaptopurine and 6-Thioguanine) and adenosine deaminase inhibitors(Cladribine, Fludarabine, Mercaptopurine, Clofarabine, Thioguanine,Nelarabine and Pentostatin); topoisomerase inhibitors such astopoisomerase I inhibitors (Ironotecan, topotecan) and topoisomerase IIinhibitors (Amsacrine, etoposide, etoposide phosphate, teniposide);monoclonal antibodies (Alemtuzumab, Gemtuzumab ozogamicin, Rituximab,Trastuzumab, Ibritumomab Tioxetan, Cetuximab, Panitumumab, Tositumomab,Bevacizumab); and miscellaneous anti-neoplastics such as ribonucleotidereductase inhibitors (Hydroxyurea); adrenocortical steroid inhibitor(Mitotane); enzymes (Asparaginase and Pegaspargase); anti-microtubuleagents (Estramustine); and retinoids (Bexarotene, Isotretinoin,Tretinoin (ATRA).

Examples of such agents include, but are notlimited to, amfostine, mesna, and dexrazoxane.

In one aspect of the invention, the subject compounds are administeredin combination with radiation therapy. Radiation is commonly deliveredinternally (implantation of radioactive material near cancer site) orexternally from a machine that employs photon (x-ray or gamma-ray) orparticle radiation. Where the combination therapy further comprisesradiation treatment, the radiation treatment may be conducted at anysuitable time so long as a beneficial effect from the co-action of thecombination of the therapeutic agents and radiation treatment isachieved. For example, in appropriate cases, the beneficial effect isstill achieved when the radiation treatment is temporally removed fromthe administration of the therapeutic agents, perhaps by days or evenweeks.

It will be appreciated that compounds of the invention can be used incombination with an immunotherapeutic agent. One form of immunotherapyis the generation of an active systemic tumor-specific immune responseof host origin by administering a vaccine composition at a site distantfrom the tumor. Various types of vaccines have been proposed, includingisolated tumor-antigen vaccines and anti-idiotype vaccines. Anotherapproach is to use tumor cells from the subject to be treated, or aderivative of such cells (reviewed by Schirrmacher et al. (1995) J.Cancer Res. Clin. Oncol. 121:487). In U.S. Pat. No. 5,484,596, Hanna Jr.et al. claim a method for treating a resectable carcinoma to preventrecurrence or metastases, comprising surgically removing the tumor,dispersing the cells with collagenase, irradiating the cells, andvaccinating the patient with at least three consecutive doses of about10⁷ cells.

It will be appreciated that the compounds of the invention mayadvantageously be used in conjunction with one or more adjunctivetherapeutic agents. Examples of suitable agents for adjunctive therapyinclude a 5HT₁ agonist, such as a triptan (e.g. sumatriptan ornaratriptan); an adenosine A1 agonist; an EP ligand; an NMDA modulator,such as a glycine antagonist; a sodium channel blocker (e.g.lamotrigine); a substance P antagonist (e.g. an NK₁ antagonist); acannabinoid; acetaminophen or phenacetin; a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor; aleukotriene receptor antagonist; a DMARD (e.g. methotrexate); gabapentinand related compounds; a tricyclic antidepressant (e.g. amitryptilline);a neurone stabilising antiepileptic drug; a mono-aminergic uptakeinhibitor (e.g. venlafaxine); a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor; anitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, such as an iNOS or an nNOSinhibitor; an inhibitor of the release, or action, of tumour necrosisfactor .alpha.; an antibody therapy, such as a monoclonal antibodytherapy; an antiviral agent, such as a nucleoside inhibitor (e.g.lamivudine) or an immune system modulator (e.g. interferon); an opioidanalgesic; a local anaesthetic; a stimulant, including caffeine; anH₂-antagonist (e.g. ranitidine); a proton pump inhibitor (e.g.omeprazole); an antacid (e.g. aluminium or magnesium hydroxide; anantiflatulent (e.g. simethicone); a decongestant (e.g. phenylephrine,phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine, oxymetazoline, epinephrine,naphazoline, xylometazoline, propylhexedrine, or levo-desoxyephedrine);an antitussive (e.g. codeine, hydrocodone, carmiphen, carbetapentane, ordextramethorphan); a diuretic; or a sedating or non-sedatingantihistamine.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent neutralendopeptidases collectively capable of degrading essentially all matrixcomponents. Over 20 MMP modulating agents are in pharmaceutical develop,almost half of which are indicated for cancer. The University of Torontoresearchers have reported that HDACs regulate MMP expression andactivity in 3T3 cells. In particular, inhibition of HDAC by trichostatinA (TSA), which has been shown to prevent tumorigenesis and metastasis,decreases mRNA as well as zymographic activity of gelatinase A (MMP2;Type IV collagenase), a matrix metalloproteinase, which is itself,implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis (Ailenberg M., Silverman M.,Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2002, 298:110-115). Another recent articlethat discusses the relationship of HDAC and MMPs can be found in YoungD. A., et al., Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2005, 7: 503. Furthermore,the commonality between HDAC and MMPs inhibitors is their zinc-bindingfunctionality. Therefore, in one aspect of the invention, compounds ofthe invention can be used as MMP inhibitors and may be of use in thetreatment of disorders relating to or associated with dysregulation ofMMP. The overexpression and activation of MMPs are known to inducetissue destruction and are also associated with a number of specificdiseases including rheumatoid arthritis, periodontal disease, cancer andatherosclerosis.

The compounds may also be used in the treatment of a disorder involving,relating to or, associated with dysregulation of histone deacetylase(HDAC). There are a number of disorders that have been implicated by orknown to be mediated at least in part by HDAC activity, where HDACactivity is known to play a role in triggering disease onset, or whosesymptoms are known or have been shown to be alleviated by HDACinhibitors. Disorders of this type that would be expected to be amenableto treatment with the compounds of the invention include the followingbut not limited to: Anti-proliferative disorders (e.g. cancers);Neurodegenerative diseases including Huntington's Disease, Polyglutaminedisease, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Seizures,Striatonigral degeneration, Progressive supranuclear palsy, Torsiondystonia, Spasmodic torticollis and dyskinesis, Familial tremor, Gillesde la Tourette syndrome, Diffuse Lewy body disease, Progressivesupranuclear palsy, Pick's disease, intracerebral hemorrhage, Primarylateral sclerosis, Spinal muscular atrophy, Amyotrophic lateralsclerosis, Hypertrophic interstitial polyneuropathy, Retinitispigmentosa, Hereditary optic atrophy, Hereditary spastic paraplegia,Progressive ataxia and Shy-Drager syndrome; Metabolic diseases includingType 2 diabetes; Degenerative Diseases of the Eye including Glaucoma,Age-related macular degeneration, Rubeotic glaucoma; Inflammatorydiseases and/or Immune system disorders including Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA), Osteoarthritis, Juvenile chronic arthritis, Graft versus Hostdisease, Psoriasis, Asthma, Spondyloarthropathy, Crohn's Disease,inflammatory bowel disease Colitis Ulcerosa, Alcoholic hepatitis,Diabetes, Sjoegrens's syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Ankylosingspondylitis, Membranous glomerulopathy, Discogenic pain, Systemic LupusErythematosus; Disease involving angiogenesis including cancer,psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis; Psychological disorders includingbipolar disease, schizophrenia, mania, depression and dementia;Cardiovascular Diseases including heart failure, restenosis andarteriosclerosis; Fibrotic diseases including liver fibrosis, cysticfibrosis and angiofibroma; Infectious diseases including Fungalinfections, such as Candida Albicans, Bacterial infections, Viralinfections, such as Herpes Simplex, Protozoal infections, such asMalaria, Leishmania infection, Trypanosoma brucei infection,Toxoplasmosis and coccidlosis and Haematopoietic disorders includingthalassemia, anemia and sickle cell anemia.

It is especially advantageous to formulate oral compositions in dosageunit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosageunit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited asunitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing apredetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce thedesired therapeutic effect in association with the requiredpharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms ofthe invention are dictated by and directly dependent on the uniquecharacteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeuticeffect to be achieved, and the limitations inherent in the art ofcompounding such an active compound for the treatment of individuals.

Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligomers of dextrose with a truncated conestructure consisting of a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobicinterior cavity. A cyclodextrin can form an inclusion complex with aguest molecule by complexing with all or a portion of a hydrophobicguest molecule within its cavity (for example, as described in U.S. Pat.No. 4,727,064, the contents of which are herein incorporated byreference). The size of the cavity is determined by the number ofglucopyranose units in the cyclodextrin. Alpha-(α), beta-(B) andgamma-(γ) cyclodextrins are the most common cyclodextrins and possesssix, seven and eight glucopyranose units, respectively. Because naturalcyclodextrins have relatively low aqueous solubility and are associatedwith toxicity, chemically modified cyclodextrin derivatives have beendeveloped to overcome these limitations. Such cyclodextrin derivativestypically possess a chemical modification at one or more of the 2, 3, or6 position hydroxyl groups. Cyclodextrin derivatives have, for example,been described in U.S. Pat.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier orexcipient” means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler,diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type.Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceuticallyacceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose;starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and itsderivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose andcellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipientssuch as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil,cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil andsoybean oil; glycols such as propylene glycol; esters such as ethyloleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesiumhydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water;isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffersolutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such assodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloringagents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring andperfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present inthe composition, according to the judgment of the formulator.

The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be administeredorally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally,buccally, vaginally or via an implanted reservoir, preferably by oraladministration or administration by injection. The pharmaceuticalcompositions of this invention may contain any conventional non-toxicpharmaceutically-acceptable carriers, adjuvants or vehicles. In somecases, the pH of the formulation may be adjusted with pharmaceuticallyacceptable acids, bases or buffers to enhance the stability of theformulated compound or its delivery form. The term parenteral as usedherein includes subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intravenous,intramuscular, intraarticular, intraarterial, intrasynovial,intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional and intracranial injection orinfusion techniques.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceuticallyacceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups andelixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage formsmay contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, forexample, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifierssuch as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethylacetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butyleneglycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut,corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol,tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid estersof sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oralcompositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents,emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfumingagents.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous oroleaginous suspensions, may be formulated according to the known artusing suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. Thesterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectablesolution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptablediluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Amongthe acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water,Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Inaddition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solventor suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can beemployed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fattyacids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, byfiltration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporatingsterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which canbe dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectablemedium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slowthe absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension ofcrystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rateof absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution,which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form.Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drugform is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oilvehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulematrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such aspolylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymerand the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drugrelease can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymersinclude poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectableformulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes ormicroemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferablysuppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of thisinvention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such ascocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solidat ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore meltin the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
